In the first screenshot I moved the top Xfce panel to the bottom right corner and made it transparent with only the indicator plugin and notification plugin. I also put a second Xfce panel with transparency to the left of the screen and added only the Dockbarx panel plugin for access to any opened windows with notifications.

Edit - I forgot to mention in the third screenshot the weather in terminal is called "Weatherman", and instructions for setting that up can be found Here.
